    TheMissxu reacted to Tech Enthusiast in Nvidia Geforce revenue is up 59%   
    Less net Income is always the goal. As strage as it may sound.
    Less profits = less taxes.
     
    Always better to invest the profits in more future profits... then "investing" in taxes.

    No, no. For around the same price as the 4690K

    TheMissxu reacted to dalekphalm in [DEBUNKED] Windows 10 updates can disable pirated games and unauthorized hardware   
    That part is actually ridiculously easy now.
     
    You buy the game, and if you don't like it, you get a full refund.
     
    This is now accepted policy on the two biggest digital distribution platforms on PC: Steam and Origin.
     
    GOG also has a refund policy, but they only refund games that don't work on a technical level (eg: they can't fix the bugs and you can't play the game because of that). But GOG's prices are also like $5 a piece at most (not counting AAA game releases that they are slowly introducing).
     
    Again, this does not apply to Windows 10. Just because you use Skype, for example, does not magically mean the policy applies to everything else on your PC, that's not how license agreements work. If Skype is on the list, or Cortana, then it only applies to Skype, or Cortana.
     
    If you disable Cortana and never use it, and never use any of the other programs on that list (Notice how Windows 10 is absent), then that privacy policy does not apply to you.
     
    People are taking this, and blowing it way out of proportion. They are taking things out of context, or straight up inventing parts of the story.

    TheMissxu reacted to sgloux3470 in Intel promisses Unlocked, Overclockable LAPTOP Skylake CPUs   
    I really don't understand the appeal of spending $2000-3000 on a gaming PC crammed into a cheap plastic frame that runs hot enough to burn you if you touch it and needs to be plugged in to actually play games on it for longer than 20 minutes.
     
     
    I'd rather have a weaker, power efficient laptop for light gaming (Stuff like Civilization or older games. ) on the go  and then a proper gaming desktop for "real" gaming at home.

    TheMissxu got a reaction from scheduleX in Asus Z170 Motherboards to Feature Custom Color LEDs   
    While the accents of the motherboard are red (and would need to be painted) Edit: accents still somewhat unclear, Asus seems to have taken Linus' needs into consideration:
     
    Asus' next generation Z170 Maximus VIII motherboards (Hero confirmed, assuming models above as well) will feature lighting control for custom LED colors. It is advertised to be 6 different color profiles, although there is no word on fine tuned customization.
     

     
    Based on what is seen in the video, this feature will be called SupremeFX. Edit: That actually is the audio solution's name, although that logo will have the same LEDs. This also means that the Maximus VIII Extreme will also have this feature (See below for images from the press release page). The Ranger and Gene might have the feature, but it isn't guaranteed (Hard to tell).
     
    Here is an official article.

    TheMissxu reacted to DEDRICK in Windows 10 Pro From Windows 8.1 Pro   
    You don't get one, everyone has the exact same generic key for their version of Windows 10. Currently we don't know how to transfer an upgrade  Windows 10 license from one PC to another but I am sure Microsoft said they won't do it.  
     
    Your Windows 7/8.1 key will work for a new install of Windows 7/8.1 though, that license didn't go away and can be reactivate on another PC
     
    I bet that your Windows 10 key is one of these or has the same ending 5 characters identical to one of these
     
    Here are all generic keys:
    Windows 10 Home - YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7
    Windows 10 Home SL- BT79Q-G7N6G-PGBYW-4YWX6-6F4BT

    This is only true if the z170 board is designed to work with DDR3. DDR3 and DDR4 are physically incompatible, so each LGA1151 board will either support DDR3 or DDR4.
    I may only be low-end boards that are DDR3 (just a guess) so OP may be stuck

    That isn't how memory latency is measured...
     
    CL 19 @ 4000MT/s means it will communicate with the memory controller in the CPU every 19 clock cycles. It's not 19 nanoseconds or minutes or days or any unit of time. It's clock cycles.
     
    It just so happens that clock cycles do happen over a period of time. Importantly, this period of time reduces as the clock rate or frequency increases. In other words, CL 1 is 1 clock cycle by definition, but CL 1 @ 4000MT/s is actually 
    2/4000*1000=0.50ns while CL 1 @ 2133MT/s is really
    2/2133*1000=0.94ns (almost double the time for the same CL!).
     
    Finally we can then calculate that CL 19 @ 4GT/s is actually
    19*2/4000*1000=9.5ns which is faster than CL15 @ 3GT/s (10ns). Although 15-15-15-35 does have lower latency further into the memory function, but that isn't as important.
     
    Edit: Speed is actually rated in megatransfers which (in DDR) is twice the clock rate.
     
    DDR3 2133 @ CL 10 is about the same speed (9.36ns), but it doesn't transfer nearly the same amount of data per 4.75ns. There is a huge parallel to internet speeds and latency (although remember how memory latency is clock cycles, which must be converted to time). Who cares that you can connect to a download site with 60 ping, if you can only download at dial-up speeds. Some would sacrifice 15-30 ping for better speeds. Although, clearly the use case dictates this.
     
    Also, don't forget these are using much less power that DDR3 as well.

    You are right to a certain extent, but skewed graphs always change people's perception of data. Proportion is everything and skewing a graph throws that out the window.
     
    Just look at the first graph...
    The stock GPU clock is no where to be found. There is no basis for the scaling used to compare FPS to GPU clock... ie it's skewed out of proportion From what I can tell, +96mV and +150MHz is the sweet spot and the wattage difference is only ~80 watts. That isn't that pathetic.
     
    I would love to see more comparisons with other GPU solutions (like the 980Ti and 295x2).
